To be honest, I haven’t been up to doing much of anything since my father passed away, but this past weekend we went up to Blackwater Falls, and took an easy hike on the Davis Trail, which is an easy–and more important beautiful–hike. Being out in the woods really was helpful, once I made myself get out.
I’ve talked about this hike before, but it really is lovely, and one of the trails in the Blackwater Falls area that doesn’t get a ton of use, which means we didn’t see many other people, which is always my preference.
This section of trail starts at the Blackwater Falls Petting Zoo (which is still not back up and running, FYI), and goes up the mountain to Canaan Loop Road. We went up to the Plantation trail, and then hiked for awhile along there.
The first section of the trail we hiked follows along Engine Run Creek.
A creek I managed to fall in, while trying to take a picture.
The trail is gorgeous. Not only does it run alongside Engine Creek along the Davis trail.
The Plantation trail goes through several open fens.
